Si Caogui did not pursue Shi San.
He stepped back while touching the wound on his right eye.
Shi San's crescent moon-shaped blade only left a wound on his eyelid, not injuring the eye, but the blood made the world he saw turn red.
He should have dodged this blade: He had long known that someone disguised as Yuan Cheng was ambushed in the carriage, and Hu Shi San was merely an Innate Official, evading the blade should not be difficult, yet he still failed to dodge.
Mrs. Lu patiently waited in the carriage, striking first at the Corpse Dog soul, making him lose his sense of "shock" and vigilance, so much so that he momentarily forgot the "Yuan Cheng" inside the carriage.
The battle seemed destined from the first strike, as if every step he took from then was wrong.
